The hackneyed, cliche, banal, juvenile voice overs by "presenters" in Australian tv travel shows make them unwatchable. Reads like a dull brochure with stuff like "and the food is to die for" any age "from 7 to 70". Dishwater blandness.

The banks (and miners) show why the XJO has never risen to its pre-GFX high. ANZ is 33% below the 2015 top and well below the $31 pre-GFC high. Currently in a vaguish support level #asx200pic.twitter.com/HnDdKBK0ni

Dow transports. For adherents of Dow theory (and I suspect it's still valid) they're back to the February low bounce level with a similar promising bullish candle (wait for confirmation) #asx200pic.twitter.com/FApOtsFRCN

XJO daily. We've had the correctioin we had to have, 10.8% over Sept and this month. Below the 50, 200 and 500 day sma. Below diagonal supports. Below Feb and April lows. But at the bigger support levels of last year. Indicators are lower than a pregnant snake's belly #asx200pic.twitter.com/lYjFRvkwm3

If Thursday is dismissed as a dead cat bounce, US markets overnight closed a little higher than big fall Wednesday. January's sell off took 5 days to stabilise after the huge day's drop. This event we've had 3.

Following on from @CitizenVoltaire fib grid for DJIA...Uncanny how a fall from the present height lines up the 61.8% major fib with the pre-GST all time high. The 50% and the minor 23.6% at lesser significant levels. pic.twitter.com/2OW41CcFp4

Amazon was one of the big falls on Wednesday. Overnight though not only recovered but rose higher than pre-fall, up 7 %. However, after hours it's down again, 6% after announcing expected profit but below par revenue. pic.twitter.com/UN8YpeQmA1

Us markets have wiped all the year's gains, DJIA lost about 200 of its 608 points fall in the final half hour's trading. Our market erased the year's gains on October 9, so we're way ahead! In fact XJO has erased all gains since 2017. #asx200
